I'm not up to date on what's available as it has been many years since I've needed to purchase one. Any recommendations on a good, lasting cat harness? Please include links if possible. If it isn't available at Pet Supplies Plus or Walmart, I'll need to order it. Thank you.

Thank you for the reply. I like that it mentioned brands and not just styles. I have a vest that I just bought a week or two ago at a thrift store. But after getting it home I think it was actually marketed for bunnies or other small critters. It has silk like ribbons instead of nylon straps and some sort of rubber ball to adjust size. I didn't really examine it too closely before purchasing.

Oh, and I would never trust that first ASPCA recommended harness to securely contain a cat.

The neck strap is too wide for Scully to wear comfortably. I'll either alter it or use it as a pattern to make one that fits. She wears a "practice" harness I made out of 1" wide soft elastic and velcro without any problems.

The velcro is the full width of the strap and very secure. For a cat as strong as a 30-lb. bobcat I would add a second layer of velcro like they use on protective horse boots, although Scully doesn't try to pull it open. It should be sufficient for domestics.

This is a jacket-style harness but doesn't appear to be either a Kitty Holster or properly adjusted:

OK. Shimmer already wears a sweater so shouldn't be a problem. I'd just better check her reaction to velcro noise. Thanks for your help.
